    It is early in the season,  but maybe this is the year Perez pulls a Rosberg and beats Max for the championship 

    Not a chance!

    Well this is a crazy starting grid!
    It's cliche, but damn, if the Red Bulls weren't so dominant, you'd have different teams winning races every weekend. The field is so tight.

    Agree the red flag ending qually was silly.  Good to see Alonso on the podium. He has been impressive this season.

    Hello fellow Formula One freaks.
    I have had a horrble life altering accident, and can no longer attend the Grand Prix in Montreal. I have 2 tickets in grandstand 24 (the hairpin) for all 3 days, and hotel accommodations for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The seats are in row 4 and are 2 seats in from the aisle. The view is amazing, I’ve had these same seats for 20 years now. The cost of the GP tickets was $890 cdn, and the cost of the hotel was $1470 cdn. I am asking $2000 for the lot if anyone is interested.

    So whenever I watch it seems Verstappen wins.  Hamilton podiums but isn't the dominant racer anymore.

    Is this every week or I just happen to see Verstappen killing everyone else?

    His car is best that's what it comes down to. Hamilton is class in a shit car atm.

    It is not just the car, Max is the best driver on the grid.  His drive in Monaco qually was impressive.  Max will win most races unless they have reliability or strategy issues. Not sure Checco can really challenge Max, but there are many races left.  The most exciting part of F1 this year is Fernando Alonso.

    Of course it's the car. Max is good of course but put most driver like Lewis or Fernando in that car they win

    Of course the car is a big reason, but he keeps outperforming Checco who is in the same car.  I think Max would still be quicker if you put Lewis or Fernando in that car. Obviously the Alpine is a slower car and could not match the speed of the Red Bull regardless of the driver. Max is in that space where Lewis was 10 years ago and in that space where Alonso was 15 years ago (or something like that).

    Every tenth of second matters in F1. So yes. The best pit stops are under 3 seconds in F1.

    I figured.  I put it on and watch some of it.  I like the Podium celebrations.

    "Natter"?  Am I channeling my younger partying years and want natty lights, lol!?!

    So it's the car. Lewis in that car wins every race . Lewis is in a very shit car. max is good but definitely no better than Lewis . F1 has always been best car wins. Still is

    Agree to disagree. I will say that it is not just the car or the driver, it also the RB team, they seem to nail every pit stop and race strategy. Cheers!

    Very sorry about your accident.
    You must be a big fan to have the same seats for 20 years. Good luck selling them.
